Artist bio

Ohio-based band Twenty One Pilots got their start in 2009 when Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas, and Chris Salih met in college and produced, recorded, and released their self-titled debut themselves. After the departure of Thomas and Salih, Joseph recruited Josh Dun for the project, resulting in its current duo configuration. With the release of their second album Regional At Best, the band attracted attention from execs at Fueled By Ramen and were signed in 2012. They made their major label debut the following year with 2013's Vessel, which reached No. 10 on the Alternative Albums Chart and featured the radio-friendly track "Holding on to You". Since then, the group has toured alongside Fall Out Boy, Neon Trees, and Walk the Moon, made several primetime television appearances, and played sold-out shows on their Quiet is Violent World Tour -- all in a few short years. With their poetic lyrics, driving music, and amazing stage presence, Twenty One Pilots deliver unforgettable performances for their fans every time.
